New Vic Theatre

About

The New Vic, one of the country's most successful producing theatres, delivers a programme of international-class work in-the-round alongside award-winning community and education programmes, and a varied line-up of one-night events.

The current building, opened in 1986, is famous as the first purpose-built theatre, in the round, in Europe. In an intimate 600 seater auditorium, the audience entirely surround the stage, the action is so close you could almost reach out and touch the actors.

See a show, enjoy some lunch or pop in for a coffee and a cake in our theatre cafe.
